All the Delicious Apples

Inflation has made me not understand prices anymore in the sense that I no longer understand what an appropriate price for any food is. Is a $5 bag of chips a good deal? Because that sounds fucking insane to 2018 me. And yet, that is how much they cost.

[keeshplay]

I need yall to understand just how fucking BONKERS price increases are now. Statistics Canada tracks food prices here - not everything, but the essential stuff.

Like, for example, 1KG of chicken breasts. The monthly average price in January 2026? $14.40 January 2020? $11.91 January 2017 (as far back as we can go)? $11.38

How about simple ground coffee? $9.35 for 340 grams Back in 2020? $5.32 2017? $4.59

900grams of infant formula in 2026? $51.39 2020? $29.20 2017? $27.22

Like - yall. Post-covid corporations have been absolutely screwing us. And they fucking KNOW it. They keep saying "inflation" and "trade war" and "weather phenomenon" but NONE of these accounts for how big the jump has been since COVID. They keep hitting record profits and jacking up the price citing whatever the fuck they want.

Like - PepsiCo just figured out people WON'T buy a $7 bag of Doritos. So what are they doing? "Oh we'll just drop it down 50 cents...

When every company jacks up the prices cause they know they can, we no longer have a free market.

Jurnal #76

Well, my last Journal entry wasn't that long ago, so it feels strange to have to give you a report already. But I'll tackle this task with enthusiasm and dedication.

I'm getting back to work on several projects simultaneously. In particular, the video game my team and I are working on, "Help," is progressing steadily. I've also started working seriously on the pages of my next graphic novel, "Torment." Here's a panel (in french).

Finally, among other complex and wonderful things I might tell you about next time, I made a poster with dogs for the opening of a shop run by friends in the terrifying city of Liège. Here it is:

Finally, here are a few suggestions, as usual.

- My friend Chariospirale recently released the final version of his game Sol Cesto, which he created in collaboration with Doc Géraud. It's a small roguelite based on statistics, but its art style and numerous secrets make it a "special item" worth checking out, and I therefore invite you to try it. The wizard is very powerful!!!

- Mushrooms. I love them. I know they're just water swollen parasites, not even plants, but they taste amazing! Regular mushrooms are already very good, but the special varieties are generally even more delicious. There you go, I hope that gives you something to think about.

Sending you kisses, have a wonderful day!
